  2. Choose the files below (all three at once is fine). The board works out which is which.
  3. Check the summary, then publish. Other screens pick up the new data within about ten minutes; a reload shows it sooner.

    People opening the board type this once per device. Changing it makes everyone re-enter it. Without a code, anyone who finds the web address can read the board.

    Morning snapshot: what moved since the previous day's upload, what is due, what is going out and coming back, and what is furthest behind.

    What needs a decision. Each tile filters the list below. Click any job number to open its routing.

    Each work center's scheduled operations on a timeline. Bars run from scheduled start to scheduled end. The top row marks customer due dates; click a marker to list them, or a bar to open the job.

    Every open job with its remaining routing, soonest due first. Use the search box to narrow it; the arrow opens the steps.

    What this board is

    A read-only display of the open jobs in JobBOSS². Nothing here changes JobBOSS²; to change a date or a routing, change it there and upload again.

    The data is locked with the access code. Each browser asks for it once.

    The date at the top of the page is when the schedule was last uploaded. If it is more than a week old, treat the numbers with care.

    Updating the data

    1. In JobBOSS², export as CSV: Loading Summary – Work Center View, Job Schedule – Detail Report, Job Requirements Summary – Detail Report.
    2. Click Update data at the top of this page, choose the three files, and check the summary.
    3. Click Publish to everyone.

    Upload after the previous day's production cards are entered. The Hot list compares each day's first upload with the one before it to show what was completed. Uploading again the same day keeps that comparison.

    The Update data button only shows on computers that have been given the upload key (next card).

    Set up uploading on this computer

    Joe has the upload key. It is entered once per computer and stays in this browser.

    If publishing ever fails, Save file instead in the Update panel saves a file named data.json. Uploading that file to the GitHub repository does the same job.

    Reading the numbers

    Slack
    Calendar days between the end of a job's last scheduled operation and its earliest open due date. Negative means the schedule already misses the date.
    Multi-release jobs
    Slack is measured to the first open release, while the routing covers the whole order, so blanket orders can look later than they are. Check the Shipments list for each release.
    Overdue column (Load)
    Hours on operations whose scheduled dates have already gone by. Usually work that is done but not yet entered, or a job that needs rescheduling.
    No ops left
    A release whose in-house steps are all complete: at a vendor, in inspection, or ready to ship.
